J R W _____ From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of RON MAY, RPT Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 3:15 PM To: Pianotech List Subject: TOOL CASES As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very helpful. I hate to think how much money I have thrown into tool cases over the years. I think every time a new one came out I would grab it up thinking this had to be the best. I had a Genck case that was very nice but the pockets ripped out and I now us it for my voicing stuff. Never was thrilled with it. I bought another expensive case from Jensen it was really nice, had plenty of room but to heavy. Finally, one day I discovered a laptop computer case and bought it for about 40 bucks. It is the best case I have had. It is light, it has an extra pocket on the outside that holds a 14 inch plastic box for misc. items such as protec, etc.and I use a tool roll. It is also the way I can tell which day it is. As the week goes on it gets heavier and in a little disarray by Friday I might need a tow truck but I can't blame the case for that and it still works great.

As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very helpful. I put some graham crackers in a zip lock bag for a snack, and they were crumbs by the time I got home yesterday. :) The case is too cramped, and lowes doesn't have a decent tool case. I was tuning my friends piano a couple of weeks ago, and his cat decided kto walk on the key bed while I was tuning and wanted to bother my open brief case. I played some notes and made him move by pushing the keys up.:) Marshall smiling and nodding as I write the e-mail. ;) lol -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Barbara Richmond" <piano57@insightbb.com> Good advice, Debbie! When Mitsubishi first came to Bloomington/Normal, IL, I had a large number of Japanese customers. I learned quickly that I was expected to stay for refreshments and conversation (broken English and lots of smiling and nodding). Of course, everything was always good, though the strangest thing I sampled was a coffee gelatin. The time that really proved how fast I could tune was when the homeowner's black lab parked himself under the piano bench. He went to sleep and, um.....broke wind. How long can you hold your breath? :-) Actually, I got up and talked to the owner, not saying anything about the <atmospheric conditions>, but suggested the dog find another place to snooze. She got the dog to move--for a while. Somehow he managed to find his way back to me. Barbara Richmond Ziplock bags - never tune without them!
